Florida is “Gator Country” though. According to Molly Hatcett. Your dad was shooting pretty good. I shot a luger once couldn’t hit anything. Didja eat it? (the gator) Justin Wilson said they taste like chicken.
“Justin Wilson said they taste like chicken.”
The tail meat is good eatin’, and white when cooked like chicken. If the gator isn’t too old and tough bite sized chunks of tail be]readied and fried are delicious.

Daddy sold the luger to his First Cousin. That cousin was golden gloves champion of Florida.
Daddy died at age 90 quite a few years ago. I met the cousin at a family reunion. He said that he had also sold the luger.
He then told me a a good story. He said he complained to Daddy about the luger being inaccurate. He said my Father then took it, put up a target at about 25 feet and proceeded to put a mag full into a single hole.
